Sorry, I was practicing my Venglish.

EDIT: Were you actually 'trying' to be funny with me?

Getting back to business, episode 3 had me rationally accepting SHAFT's maneuver in animating only, I think, the more significant chapters which focus on Riku and Nino's relationship. Still, I knew the chapters I mentioned the last time would be cut-off, but not Nino's sleep(walk)ing-ways (thus explaining why she's found sleeping on the sofa in Riku's room at the start of the episode) too!? I really wanted to see Nino throw Riku like a basketball into the hoop *Nino Three-Points!* ...ahem... I mean into an ordinary basket that badly.

Anyway, other than the expected, there were also a couple of surprises particularly the B.P.(Before Preview) part where SHAFT animated what they did not in the previous episode, even adding Maria, who hasn't been introduced yet, into the bonus scene.



PS: Tomokazu Sugita is just f*ck'N'awesome. Hoshi going head-to-head with Riku (Hiroshi Kamiya) is without a doubt the highlight of the most comedic episode of the series yet. It honestly felt like a Honey and Clover reunion between Takemoto and Mayama; if only Chief (Keiji Fujiwara) was there too in the room instead of Sister... Kyaa, Shu-chan!!

PS.s: Considering you slowpokes haven't seen the latest episode yet (waiting for subs), I was trying to be considerate as to not spoil anything for anyone but I just can't help myself... So head's up, spoiler cap falling!

so there's 3 now? Even better!

The first episode did not win me over at all, I was thinking I wouldn't enjoy this series but decided to watch the few next episodes to give it a chance.

The latest episodes of course won me over, loving this anime so much. And Nino can be amazingly cute at times (Bath Barrel and the Dress = Heaven).

I'm just wondering if their relationship actually develops any further, I understand this is a comedy though, so I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't.

Either way lets hope SHAFT manages to keep the good work up on this.

I think it's gonna be your typical Shaft produced series...

I was surprised by how good this is. I watched it thinking that it was pure comedy but there was actually something deeper than just a bunch of weirdos living under a bridge. First of all, Nino and Ric's relationship is really interesting. They maybe lovers by name but the truth is they are still just getting to know each other. It will be really interesting to see how it develops romantically, if ever there will be any actual development. Secondly, it makes me wonder what circumstances made the other residents take refuge under the bridge...Watching 3 straight episodes were just to short.

That dress it total win.

Hows this?

IMO, its comments like yours that frustrates the man.

Found this anime when scouring through the webz looking for a new anime to watch and I have to say, I was captured when I saw the very intriguing and original plot - it seemed to be right up my alley, so I decided to download the episodes available at this current moment.

Watched 2 episodes and I have to say that Arakawa Under the Bridge is fucking hilarious. I do not have a clue as to how you find all these amazing animes Hermit, but I thank you. The anime is even more strange and eccentric than that I first assumed, but that all plays into it's stunning humour. I cannot help but feel the need to compare the humour to Gintama's and Zan Setsubo Sensei (though I have only seen two episodes) - they're all equally as random and god damn hilarious. It also helps with the good voice acting as well, where I noticed a lot of voice actors from Gintama's cast - which is a big plus in my books.

All in all, I found it to be a very entertaining anime which I'll be sure to follow.

P.S. Oh look, it's me again. Haii tharr Hermit!

that dress is all but a dress if nino was not wearing it :)

The guitar in the ED reminds me of GTO's OP.
Here they are for comparison:

Episode 4 focus (pre-post):

-The first DATE

-Never underestimate children! (They're all monsters!)

-Maria Do ESU!

-Where's P-ko?

Catch the 'Avant' and the 'C' part here!

Anyone thinks this post is way 'unenthusiastic' of me? Humor me!

i knew you would post eventually but not like this unenthusiastic

if it would make you feel better

ep3: hoshi brought down the house


edit:

and i haven't watched ep4 yet so i will just have to post about it later ;)

Ep 4.
LOLI ALERT!

No...just because their is a child character does not mean something as messed as loli.

Anyway that aside episode 4 was amazing. Loved everything about the episode, most epic part being Nino blushing. The after credit stuff was just ridiculous. The sister takes all those insults and just brushes them off with "sorry" but as soon as he is called boring his freaking scar explodes with blood. xD

How did you know that I was the one who minus your reputation for the shit awful post that it is? [size=5]just joking I did not give any rep to anywho so why not accuse someone else[/h]



Can I guess whose fault this is? Does it start with an H?



I can tell your not a big fan of loli XD but then it all comes down to what is loli?



I think there was something to the word boring "tsumannai" that set him off. He was probably goin to say sorry "suman/sumanai" again but instead he said "tsuma" which means wife so
